'It started off like a normal day. Really, it did, but, somewhere along the line, things just got...weird...' Hermione closed her eyes as she thought over the events that led to her current predicament. 'That's right...it was normal...up til that happened.'
~Flashback~
Hermione ran upstairs to the Astronomy tower to grab her textbook, having left it earlier, she was now behind with her homework. Well, behind for her. Pushing the latch to the Astronomy Tower up, she climbed up and smiled as she found her book exactly where she'd left it. Moving over towards the book, she took it into her hands and grinned.
Draco had been ruffling her feathers over the past few days about the fact that he was getting closer to passing her up in grades. This bothered her immensely, since she had taken a lot of time, and put forth a lot of effort to become the know-it-all that she was.
Walking towards the classroom door latch, she stopped as a movement in the corner of her eyes caught her attention. Turning towards that movement, she scoffed at herself as she let out an unknowingly held breathe she'd been keeping a moment ago.
"Just my reflection..."
What was to happen next wasn't particularly strange for Hermione, especially as of lately with her late night studies and early morning classes. Walking up to the mirror, however, and eyeing her reflection, she was confused by her look. It wasn't right somehow. She looked...gorgeous...in a bad way. Her hair was smooth and wavy, shiny...eyes narrowed in a cunning, and seductive manner. Her clothes smaller, fit…stockings instead of socks, black buckled shoes polished and shined. Even her body shape seemed a little bit more toned and thinner. Reaching out to touch the mirror, a sudden ache behind her eyes caused her to close her eyes and stumble.
Falling forward, she reached out to brace herself against the mirror, but her hand met nothing but air until she finally felt herself hit the floor. She kept her eyes shut for a few more seconds until the pain of the migraine finally departed. Blinking her eyes a few times to clear herself of the sudden dizzy spell, she stood and glanced behind her.
The mirror which had moments ago been in front of her, was now behind her. "How curious..." shaking her head she laughed, "you are getting barmy, Hermione. You probably just twisted in your fall." Smiling, she picked her book back up, staring back at the reflection in the mirror, she was pleased to see that earlier her eyes must have just been playing tricks on her. For the reflection in the mirror, was in every way, shape and form, her. The bookworm that she had grown very fond of.
Turning away from the reflective glass, she left through the latch of the Astronomy Tower and made her way towards Gryffindor Tower.

During her walk towards her House Common Room, she encountered strange glares and looks of contempt from not just Slytherins, the way she was already used to, but Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws as well. It was a little bit unnerving to feel as if she was in immediate danger, and that was exactly how she was feeling right now. Rolling her eyes, she turned and faced a Hufflepuff that she knew by name. Susan Bones. "Is there a problem that you would like to discuss with me? Did I do something to upset you?"
"..." Susan looked at her fearfully, shaking her head before running off, but not before casting another dirty look at Hermione from over her shoulder.
'What was that about?! Maybe Ron or Harry will know.'
"If it isn't Potter's right-hand whore...or should I just call you his right-hand?"
Hermione's eyes widened at the vulgar insult that had been clearly directed towards herself. Turning, she was surprised to come face to face with..."Luna...?"
"Oh Merlin, don't say my name. You'll only get it dirty."
Hermione was so shocked by the diverse attitude of her friend that she couldn't even muster up a reply. She was truly shocked! This was Luna! Luna 'Loony' Lovegood! Looking at the clothing that the quirky daydreamer wore, she couldn't possibly comprehend this situation at such a sudden pace. She was wearing her uniform, without any of her...trinkets. Her shoes were both on her feet, hair straightened by what looked to Hermione to be a beautification charm, and her clothes were gorgeously fit to her body. This...was Luna...?
Staring at the blonde as she walked gracefully past her with an air of superiority over the whole of the school, she watched as a few others strutted off after her, as if she were their group leader.
By this point, Hermione felt as if another headache was coming on. "I need to find Harry...!"
-x-x-x-
And find him she did. He was laughing with...Seamus? Both were lounging on the couch in front of the fireplace. Harry took notice of Hermione and waved Seamus off, who left without a word, just giving Harry a knowing look. All of this was just...weird.
"Harry!" Hermione ran forward, hugging her friend tightly. She didn't know what was going on with her classmates, but Harry was Harry! He would always be the voice of reason amidst the chaos in school...or so she hoped. Even if he did say foolish things occasionally...he was always there for his friends...right? The hand sneaking down her backside told her differently. In fact...it told her a lot more than what she was ready to hear. "Harry!"
"Hermione...why are you screaming, we haven't even started yet." He laughed, pulling her in and kissing her on the neck along her collarbone.
Hermione snapped, pushing away from Harry, she felt absolutely humiliated. Watching him sit up with a firm frown in place, he stared her down.
"What the bloody hell, Hermione!?"
"...what is wrong with you?"
"Me?! What the hell is wrong with you!? Have you gone bonkers?! You're acting like that damn Lavender Brown...a scared virgin!"
~End Flashback~
'...acting like...?' Hermione paled, shaking her head as tears started to form in her eyes. "...what do you mean, I'm acting like...a scared virgin?"
Raising a brow, he shrugged, "nothing to start blubbering over, I merely meant that you and I have had sex more than two or three times to be sure. I just don't understand why you are acting like some untouched saint."
Taking a step away, she continued to shake her head. 'What happened!? What...what...wh-! That mirror! That must be it~!' Hermione took off running, speeding past the students that had just made their way into the Common Room, she ran all the way to the Astronomy Tower...but what she was looking for...was not where she'd left it.

Me: Here is chapter one...to this. Honestly, I just had this idea and started writing it down so that I wouldn't forget it, and instead, I wrote the whole chapter. Took me like twenty minutes. 0.0...I should now go come up with a summary and title for it, lol. Review and tell me what you think of my newest creation~!
